Folding gun that looks like a smartphone worries police | Fox News

PO2 Mark Saffell - Do what? walk up to the car as trained, and ask for licence and registration. keep you firearm clear and ready for anything, with armed or unarmed public, the reaction is the same. That is why they call police, that come with the title.

The point is, if the one in the car is a bad guy? they will have guns, no law going to stop them. By trying to make yourself safe, you are actually endangering the whole public. This is what some of those police failed to understand, and even worse, when the day the public is unarmed so the police will let their guard down when they actually encounter an armed bad guy.

Police nowadays had endanger themselves a lot more because of being safe. The more safe the police wanted, the more military like they will be. They will feel safer, but actually the opposite. The public will no longer see them as police force ... and that is the worse problem can happen to the police force.

Trained or not. I promise you...you will be on edge. I use to stand close enough if they shoot out the window the door protects my head and below the waste and the vest protects the rest. But is still Un-Nerving no matter how much training you have had or how long you do it. For the most part Cops are good people that take on a hard job to keep us safe...even the ones that don't want to be kept safe. I will admit after years of doing that job, cops start looking at everyone as a possible bad guy. The trick is not to let it. That's why so many have screwed up marriages and tend to drink a lot after work. Know what the term Choir Practice means?

PO2 Mark Saffell - Police is like a soldier on a battlefield ... but can't ever go home. It take a whole different kind of soul to be a good cop. Being in the military is like you still can turn the switch off for a good amount of time when you come back home ... but for police ... the best maybe a day off or a shift off.

It is a tougher job in many way, I am a concerned citizen and also care about the police, they are my neighbors too. They sacrificed themselves just like military members ... just receive much lesser attention ... and get screw a lot more.

That is so true. Pay stinks too. I left Police to go to work for McDonnell Douglas as a Test Engineer on the Harpoon Missile Radar Seeker . Started out making more than a Sgt in the police. You can tell the stressed ones when they start acting like they are on duty even at social events.

Personally I wouldn't buy it. In the time it'll take you to transform it for use, you've either gotten your ass beat, shot or both. Nice novelty item, but not very functionalble. I guess I'll have to continue carrying my concealed silenced Barrett .50 BMG in my custom holster until they come up with something smaller.

I've transitioned from a Dan Wesson .357 to the Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm compact-I like the fact that it conceals easily, but still holds a decent magazine, and performs splendidly inside of 25 meters. I'm not a "large" man, so an external holster is difficult to conceal without "printing"...whereas the M&P slides nicely into a waistband holster under even a sportcoat. Most importantly, I've shot my best patterns from a draw with it, and the ergo grip allows it to return to sight picture almost instinctively each time.

LCDR (Join to see) - I have a 92FS. It's simple, I'm used to them, and I have enough with two large cap mags to get me out of damn near everything. I have a H&K .45UCP that I LOVE do to the size of it and the balance, but concealing it is impossible compared to the Barrett I carry with the 60rd magazine and Starlight scope with mp3 capability.

maybe if they went to a 22 round? But at that size, even a mag for it would maybe have five rounds? But you have knife hands. You shouldn't need any additional weapons to deal with someone. Unregistered weapons aren't they?
